First look at the rose in first poster for ‘Beauty and the Beast’

We get a first look at the new poster for the upcoming Disney live-action movie, Beauty and the Beast. Entertainment Weekly was one of the first to release the new poster and it looks beautiful. It centers around the red rose in the glass frame. What is truly catching is the fact that it’s the only thing with color in the poster. Everything else is a dark shadow or white, so the red really pops.

If you have never seen the movie since it came out in 1992, here is a quick run-down. It’s a movie that surrounds a young beautiful woman named Belle, who becomes a prisoner of the beast. She is reluctant to like the beast who is holding captive but that quickly changes when she sees something new in him. But that’s not the hard part. She has to try and save him from the dashingly handsome Gaston who is trying to kill him because he dares to take Belle from him.

The first teaser trailer came out in May and really offered nothing for the look of the movie. All it was is just inviting the fans to ‘Be Our Guest’. It’s obvious that the marketing team is doing the same strategy that they did when they released Cinderella. They are only going to show the teaser until a few months before the movie comes out then they are finally going to show footage of the actual film. Granted, that could change because they are still editing the movie. Time will tell.
